Applications are invited for a Research Associate to join the group of Dr Matt Hoare within the new Early Cancer Institute at the Cambridge Biomedical Campus. Our group is interested in why patients with chronic liver disease develop liver cancer (hoarelab.uk). This is an exciting opportunity to join a 5-year CRUK-funded project, based on previous findings from the group (Brunner et al, Nature, 2019; Ng et al, Nature, 2021) and will further define how acquired somatic mutations impact on liver disease progression, cancer risk and systemic metabolic dysfunction. We are seeking to hire a motivated post-doctoral Research Associate to join the team. The successful candidate will join a pioneering research project, working in close collaboration with the Rosenfeld group (http://www.rosenfeldlab.org/) at the neighbouring CRUK Cambridge Institute, developing novel assays to identify liver-derived mutant DNA in circulating blood. To deliver this project the successful candidate will...

Applications are invited for this new clinical academic post to be held within the Autism Research Centre (ARC) at the University of Cambridge, within the Department of Psychiatry. The ARC's mission is to understand the causes of autism and to establish which interventions are helpful and for whom. We welcome applications from postdoctoral scientists who are eligible for a Consultant post in the NHS as this post is for 3 days per week working in the Child and Adolescent Autism Clinical Pathway in the North East London Foundation Trust (NELFT), with 2 days per week undertaking research in the ARC. Funding for this role comes from a donation from NELFT to the University. The successful applicants will be expected to take the lead on writing grant applications to funders such as NIHR to fund the projects costs of their research and to extend their own salary beyond the first 5 years. It would be an advantage if candidates have an outstanding research record in autism...

Job description We would like to appoint THE JOAN REECE CHAIR IN IMMUNO-ONCOLOGY within Comprehensive Cancer Centre (CCC), School of Cancer & Pharmaceutical Sciences.   Cancer immunology is transforming cancer care, by harnessing the power of the immune system to prevent, control and eliminate cancer with many advantages. The postholder will be expected to be an Experienced/senior leader in the field who will have a keen interest and experience of working to develop potential future therapies and precision approaches in ImmunoOncology. The emphasis is on improving the existing human immunology programme by studying the heterogeneity of individual patients’ immune response to therapeutics using models such as Patient derived organoids (PDO), ex vivo tumor fragment and/or xenografts as these are increasingly seen as vital tools for preclinical drug discovery as well as provide potential stratification approaches in clinical studies.    The...

Job description A Postdoctoral Research Associate position (PDRA) is available in the Trophoblast and Human Embryo Lab situated in the Centre for Gene Therapy and Regenerative Medicine at King’s College London. The post holder will support the research lead by Dr Norah Fogarty which seeks to understand the molecular processes that govern early placenta development in the human. Our goal is to identify signalling pathways active during trophectoderm and trophoblast differentiation and to determine their functional role in cell proliferation, gene expression and embryo development. This work will further our basic understanding of human biology which in turn could inform our understanding and treatment of infertility and placenta diseases such as miscarriage, preeclampsia, and intrauterine growth restriction.      In order to do so, we leverage  •       Human preimplantation embryos, genetics and quantitative...

Job description Research in the Department of Surgical and Interventional Engineering within the School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences focuses on developing robotic systems for minimally invasive surgeries. The primary activity relating to this post is robotic intraspinal catheterisation. The project, a 3-years collaboration with an EU-wide consortium (IEC Pathfinder scheme), aims to develop a soft everting robot that navigates the subarachnoid space of the spine to deliver therapy-loaded scaffolds to the brain ventricles. Our vision is that with localised therapy delivery, diseases such as Alzheimer’s can be better managed.    The robotic technology behind the project relates to everting robots. This class of robots “unfolds” within the anatomy rather than being inserted/pushed. This navigation approach minimises friction and shear forces to delicate tissue and can conform to the anatomy through patient-specific designs....

Job description Context    Cancer Research UK (CRUK) have awarded funding to the CRUK City of London (CoL) Centre to create a CRUK Radiation Research Unit (RRU). The unit will feature an ambitious research programme for radiation oncology and radiation biology called RadNet. This network, CRUK’s largest ever investment in radiotherapy research, aims to accelerate the development of advanced radiotherapy techniques, challenging the boundaries of this mainstay treatment through world-first exploratory projects. RadNet core themes are: • The mechanisms of radiation resistance, including cancer evolution and cancer stem cells. • How the tumour microenvironment and immune system affect the response to radiotherapy. • Advanced radiotherapy techniques, such as proton beam therapy and stereotactic radiotherapy, which uses multiple beams of radiation that converge on the tumour. • Personalising radiotherapy using artificial...

Job description This is an exciting opportunity to work on cardio-immunology within King’s BHF Centre of Excellence. Myocardial infarction is the commonest cause of heart failure and there is compelling evidence implicating excessive inflammation as a key contributor. Cardiac-resident leucocyte subsets as important mediators of the inflammatory response to cardiac injury, but it is not clear how signalling in these cells is regulated.   The project aims to delineate signalling in leucocytes after myocardial infarction using in vivo models and multi-platform ‘omics’ approaches. These studies will provide invaluable knowledge on the regulation of inflammation after MI. We aim to identify and target novel signalling pathways and transcriptional regulators of inflammation that we can translate to the bedside to alleviate progression to heart failure.   We are seeking a motivated and enthusiastic candidate to join our pre-clinical and...
